Owners of the Creative Sound Blaster® XFi sound card will be
able to download the MOD and take advantage of the cutting-edge
audio feature, which was jointly created by dSonic and
Creative. The MOD allows gamers to experience real-time audio
that adjusts to what is happening in the game. "With this mod
players will get new weapon sounds that completely surround the
player and adaptive music that reacts in real-time to the game
play, putting the gamer at the heart of the action" stated
dSonic co-founder Kemal Amarasingham. "The music changes
depending on game events such as the intensity of the battle,
how many health points you have (or don't), making a kill, etc.
It's smart audio, and something fans will really love - no
matter what the genre is, this is a feature that can enhance
any game." With credits on recent major titles such as
Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion and Mage Knight: Apocalypse, dSonic
looks to implement Adaptive Audio into more games. Amarasingham
continues, "Working with Creative has allowed us to experiment
and implement new audio strategies which greatly enhance
gameplay. The possibilities are endless, and every game can
have its own unique style of Adaptive Audio based on the
gameplay. We look forward to continuing our work with Creative
and other developers in the future." Powered by the Creative
X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor, the Sound Blaster
X-Fi sound cards introduce Xtreme Fidelity, an entirely new
audio standard for music, movies and games. Xtreme Fidelity
